EXPAL is presenting its latest innovations and showcasing its technological capabilities in ammunition and weapon systems at the ongoing Eurosatory.
The company is highlighting its dual EIMOS weapon System, which in service in Spanish Navy. The first batch of Onboard Mortar Systems were delivered in December 2021. It is also showcasing its new high-performance 70mm Rocket CAT-70 AP with APKWS laser-guidance kit of BAE Systems which is compatible in both air-to-ground or ground-to-ground configurations.
The dual EIMOS weapon System is an 81mm Onboard Mortar System developed through an R&D Programme with the Spanish Ministry of Defence, to meet the most demanding requirements of the Navy (Marine Corps) and Army. The R&D Programme concluded early 2021.
Dual EIMOS currently integrates TALOS, the fire control systems (FCS) and C2 developed by Spanish Ministry of Defence, exploiting its huge interoperability capabilities. In exercises carried out in Spain, Dual EIMOS coordinated through TALOS fire actions with other weapons, command posts, manned forward observers and even RPAS, as unmanned forward observer. EXPAL’s onboard Mortar System is also ready to integrate other FCS or C2 systems.
The mortar system stands out for having been designed for Shoot & Scoot, providing mobility, automatic 360º aiming and firing without the need for additional stabilizers, the ability to overcome steep slopes and, as a unique feature, deep fording without preparation. It allows the Dual EIMOS to be used in high mobility terrestrial operations also through naval disembarking.
EXPAL also offers a broad range of rounds for naval and field artillery, mortars, air armament, medium calibers, fuzes, propelling charges, demolition stores, etc.
